Particularly after my 2024 foot operation “normal” socks really irritate. So (deep breath) I shall have to take up knitting again and become self sufficient in comfy socks

Anyone wondering what that bizarre sitar-adjacent instrument was just now on BBCR4, it was “the standard European harp of late medieval, renaissance & early baroque periods, still used until the late 18th C in some places.”

Went to a family wedding and found lots of lovely graffiti- item 1 - A foot print scratched half way up the wall (assorted other marks a bonus)
